Today was our third day of VBS in Tarikpaa village school. We worked with the upper primary students today. The guys on the team are really having a lot of fun playing futbol with the children. I've never seen so many happy faces. Joseph gave piggy back rides all morning and the kids loved it!
After VBS, we went to see the Maize Farm Project. Wow. 7 acres of corn that will feed widows and orphans when harvested. Now, we just need to continue to pray for rain. When I wasn't looking Katie borrowed the farmer's shotgun and posed for the camera! I'm telling this because when you see the picture, it will look kinda scary. LOL
We went to see my friend, Pastor Tia, at the Ghana Bible Society this afternoon, where the children were served a drink called Malta, which is sort of like a non-alcoholic beer. It is very popular here, but most of us don't like it. Caleb said he didn't like it but he kept taking sips. Go figure. Several team members purchased Dagbani Bibles and without prompting many of them purchased an extra one or two to give to friends in the village who don't have one. Have I mentioned how much I love this team? They truly have a heart for God.
In the evening we went to Yipiliegu village for a crusade. This is a very hard place and no one came forward to receive Christ, which did not surprise Pastor Mohammed. Several of the young man have become Christians, but never publicly.
The team is doing well, although a few have had some minor health issues like headaches and stomachaches. Please continue to pray for our health and safety.
We miss you all, but we are having a great time and making wonderful memories.
And one more thing....could someone from the next team bring me some Dr. Pepper?

WOW again!!! Thank you for sharing the life changing experience that is happening with the team including my daughter. It has touched me to hear her tell just how much she sees we take too many things for granted, especially our faith. She was deeply moved when she touched the sick woman and the woman shook with pain. Knowing God is being introduced in ways that most of us should be doing all along is a true testimony of the gospel message. God Bless All!!
